I have a very small part-time job on Tuesdays and Thursdays for a couple hours each day. I work with my Aunt Kim Ward for a company called United Distributors. I help with accounts payable and receivable on QuickBooks. It is good brain food for me and I really enjoy the company. Our boss Jeff Bulkley says we have Relief Society meetings when we are together. (At one point she was the Relief Society President and I was the Young Women's President in our ward, so we did find occasion to counsel one another.)
This was the place where I was first tempted by Chocolate Covered Cinnamon Bears after I gave up sugar. I had been doing very well for the past 22 days...even lost a few pounds and an inch all over my body. Today when I went in to work, I thought I arrived at Candy Land. Jeff had spent a few days meeting with a bunch of men for a work conference and brought all the treats back to work...to haunt us. There were big baskets full of every kind of candy variety you can think of...taffy, chocolate, gummies, a large tub of red vines, Almond Roca, and then I found this on my desk...
4 lbs of Jelly Belly's!
This is right behind Chocolate Covered Cinnamon Bears!
I just have to say...
NOT TEMPTED!
I didn't eat a single treat and the reason being reminds me of an old potato chip commercial -
You Can't Just Eat One!
As of today, I have lost 5.3 pounds and I feel so much better. My head has stopped spinning and I have clear thoughts. Someday I will eat a treat or two, but I don't have much of a desire at this point. I have found the pure sweet joy in eating fresh fruits and vegetables.
